Brandevoort is a modern district inspired on old Brabant towns and villages. No house is exactly the same, although all homes fit beautifully together with their colors in mostly earth and whites. Even the English Prince Charles has admiringly elated about this district, whose style is now eagerly copied in other cities.
Brandevoort is a neighbourhood of Helmond in North Brabant, the Netherlands, located in the south-west of the municipality, just north of Mierlo. It is a Vinex-location and was built according to the principles of New Urbanism and New Classical architecture. As of 1 January 2023, the neighbourhood is home to some 11,560 people, up from about 9,000 at the beginning of 2014.
